NOTE
1.Note the difference in shape between No. 1 and No. 2
piston rings.
2.Install piston rings No. 1 and No. 2 with their side havingmarks facing up (on the piston crown side).
4. INSTALLATION OF PISTON AND CONNECTING ROD(1) Liberally coat engine oil on the circumference of the
piston, piston ring, and oil ring.
(2) Arrange the piston ring and oil ring gaps (side rail and
Aspacer) as shown in the figure.
(3) Rotate crankshaft so that crank pin is on center of
cylinder bore.
(4) Use suitable thread protectors on connecting rod boltstiefore inserting piston and connecting rod assembly
into cylinder block. Care must be taken not to nick crank
pin.(5) Using a suitable piston ring compressor tool, install
piston and connecting rod assembly into cylinder block.Caution
Insert the front mark
(aryow) on the top of the
piston so it faces the erigine front (timing belt side).
2. INSTALLATION OF CONNECTING ROD CAP(1) Mate the correct bearing cap with the correct connect-
ing rod by checking with the alignment marks marked
during disassembly. If a new connecting rod is used
which has no alignment mark, position the notches for
locking the bearing on the same side.

11. INSTALLATION OF BEARING CAP
(1) Verify the correct identification mark and the directionof the arrow for installation.
(2) After installing the bearing caps, make sure that the
crankshaft turns smoothly and the end play is correct. Ifthe end play exceeds the limit, replace crankshaft
bearings.Standard value:
0.05-0.18 mm (.0020-.0071 in.)
Limit: 0.25 mm
(.0098 in.)
10. INSTALLATION OF OIL SEALUsing the special tool, press-fit the oil seal into the
crankshaft rear oil case. Use a new oil seal.9. INSTALLATION OF OIL SEPARATOR
Force the oil separator into the oil seal case so that the oilhole in the separator is directed downward (arrow in
illustration).
